The
Cattle Weighbridge on Stationsstraat in Aalten (1974?)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next to Aalten railway station<\/a>, diagonally opposite Hotel De Besker, a cattle weighbridge stood until the mid-1960s or even 1970s (?). The weighbridge was part of the Agricultural Cooperative Society<\/a> and served for the inspection and weighing of livestock intended for slaughter. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After inspection, the livestock was transported to its final destination by road or rail. That destination could, in fact, be very close by, namely the municipal slaughterhouse<\/a> (later KSA) on the other side of the railway line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
